Because our politics is in such a terrible place, I think we downplay quite how awful Kemi Badenoch has been.
In any other era the leader of the Conservatives saying 'only migrants commit sex crimes - mass deportations now' would have not just been career ending but would've sunk the whole party

Misfits, weirdos and perverts are the qualifications. If you’re also a petty criminal you get to be a councillor or MP candidate.

You don’t have to be a criminal, a moron, a racist or a Russian asset to be a member of Reform. You can be all four.

It is astonishing how many Reform supporters end up on the wrong side of the law.
Is ReformUK just a political dustbin for wrong 'uns?

PM says he wouldn't allow someone to speak to his daughter the way Trump spoke to a female journalist when he said 'quiet Piggy'
Asked if he would allow that kind of comment to his daughter or wife, the PM said 'I absolutely wouldn't'
'I would call it out', Starmer says

Zelensky: Ukraine won't accept a full withdrawal from Donbas, despite Russia's demands. Talks with the US will continue this weekend, possibly with EU reps.
Kyiv insists security guarantees must be passed by US Congress and mirror NATO’s Article 5.

But it needs to go much further if it's to tackle how foreign influence really works - and properly protect British democracy

It's been nearly a month and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

I bet Starmer’s having a good old chuckle tonight. He’s played a blinder. Screwed over the media who thought they were screwing him. Got the Reformers in a tizz with Russian interference review. And the economy is on a better track thanks to him and Reeves. And a couple of good jokes at PMQs

Chris Giles from FT on Marr at LBC sharing why our economy is doing much better than other political parties and the media would have you believe. It’s good news folks. Not mindblowing but we aren’t heading for the IMF or a recession either. It’s pretty good 🥳🥳🎉🎉
